Serial apologizer

Michael Moore pegged it four years ago: the Democrats have "battered wife syndrome." No matter how many times George W. Bush - or the their own candidates - knock them around, they keep coming back for more.

And so, once again, we see the spectre of Bill Clinton apologizing for treating one of his wife's constituencies terribly. His many admirers simply can't accept what he really is, a politician who will stop at nothing to get the Clinton duo back in the White House, regardless of who it hurts. And so instead of divorcing him and moving to a new candidate, they fall for it again, until the next time he hurts them, when they will probably forgive him again, giving him permission to do it all over again.

Is anyone else as tired of Bill Clinton's lame and politically motivated apologies as I am?

Do we really want to spend the next four years waiting for Bill Clinton's next apology?
